Get Access To All JobsAbout The Role
We are looking for an Engagement Manager who will own and drive the successful delivery of our most complex enterprise implementations from kickoff through go-live and handoff to Customer Success. You are the strategic quarterback for high-stakes, multi-stakeholder projects where technical complexity meets organizational change management.
You will serve as the primary relationship owner for enterprise customers throughout their implementation journey, commanding respect in executive conversations while rolling up your sleeves to architect solutions, unblock technical issues, and guide implementation teams. You are technical enough to challenge solution designs and give direction to engineering teams, strategic enough to navigate C-level politics and assertively manage stakeholder expectations, and operationally disciplined enough to deliver on-time, on-budget implementations.
This role sits at the intersection of technical expertise, delivery excellence, and executive advisory. You own outcomes, not just activities. When a $500K implementation is at risk, you're the person who jumps in, diagnoses what's broken, realigns stakeholders, and gets the project back on track—whether that means helping team redesign the integration architecture, facilitating a difficult conversation with a frustrated CTO, or getting a prototype built to prove feasibility.
If you have led complex enterprise implementations in high-growth SaaS environments, thrive in ambiguity, can earn trust with both engineers and executives, and believe that exceptional delivery is the foundation of customer success, this role is for you.
What You Will Do
Enterprise Project Leadership & Delivery Ownership
- Own end-to-end delivery of complex enterprise implementations ($200K–$1M+ ACV) from sales handoff through successful go-live and CSM transition
- Serve as primary relationship owner and strategic advisor for 3–5 concurrent enterprise accounts, ensuring customer success and contract value realization
- Lead project planning, scope management, risk mitigation, and change management for multi-phase, multi-stakeholder rollouts
- Drive project governance: weekly status reviews, executive steering committees, escalation management, and lessons learned
- Manage project economics: ensure delivery profitability, track budget burn, forecast overruns, and negotiate scope changes when needed
- Define success criteria with customers upfront and measure progress against business outcomes, not just task completion
Executive Relationship Management & Strategic Advisory
- Build and maintain C-level and VP-level relationships with customer executives throughout the implementation lifecycle
- Conduct Executive Business Reviews (EBRs) and Steering Committee meetings, showcasing value delivered and aligning on next phases
- Serve as escalation point for at-risk projects: diagnose root cause, develop recovery plans, and facilitate difficult stakeholder conversations
- Navigate organizational politics, competing priorities, and stakeholder misalignment to drive consensus and forward progress
- Act as trusted advisor on change management, adoption strategy, and organizational readiness—not just technical implementation
- Translate business objectives into implementation strategies and communicate technical constraints in business language executives understand
Technical Solution Design & Architecture Guidance
- Lead or co-lead design workshops with customer technical teams to architect end-to-end solutions: integration flows, data migration strategies, workflow design
- Design integrations between Rocketlane and enterprise systems (NetSuite, Salesforce, Workday, SAP, HRMS, CRMs, data warehouses)
- Evaluate integration approaches and make build-vs-buy recommendations: native connectors, iPaaS platforms (Workato, Boomi), custom API development
- Review and validate solution designs created by Solution Architects; push back when designs are technically risky, over-engineered, or misaligned with customer needs
- Provide technical direction to implementation teams and partner engineering resources; unblock technical issues that arise during build phase
- Understand REST APIs, webhooks, authentication patterns (OAuth, SAML, SSO), and data flows well enough to guide technical conversations with customer IT teams and troubleshoot integration failures
Hands-On Delivery & Problem-Solving
- Jump into the details when projects are stuck: review project plans, debug integration issues, validate data migrations, test configurations
- Build prototypes or proofs-of-concept using AI tools (Claude, Cursor, MCPs) to validate technical feasibility before committing to customers
- Lead UAT planning and execution; work with customer teams to define test scenarios, track defects, and manage go-live readiness
- Manage data migration from legacy systems: validate data quality, define transformation rules, oversee cutover planning
- Use modern AI tools to accelerate delivery: automate documentation, generate project artifacts, build validation scripts, enhance productivity
Cross-Functional Collaboration & Influence
- Partner with Sales during presales phase to shape deal strategy, validate scoping accuracy, and ensure smooth handoff from AE to delivery
- Collaborate with Product and Engineering teams to prioritize roadmap items that reduce implementation complexity or unblock customer requirements
- Influence Product team on feature gaps discovered in the field; translate customer pain into actionable product requirements
- Work with Customer Success to define handoff criteria and ensure seamless transition from implementation to ongoing adoption
- Partner with India-based delivery teams and product engineering to coordinate global delivery efforts and leverage offshore capacity
- Represent voice of the customer internally, ensuring delivery insights shape product, sales, and go-to-market strategy
Team Leadership & Mentorship (Indirect)
- Provide technical and delivery guidance to Implementation Managers and Solution Architects working on your projects
- Mentor junior team members on stakeholder management, scope negotiation, technical problem-solving, and delivery discipline
- Conduct project retrospectives and document lessons learned to improve delivery playbooks and team capabilities
- Contribute to PS knowledge base: solution patterns, integration playbooks, escalation frameworks, project templates
Delivery Excellence & Process Discipline
- Maintain rigorous project hygiene: up-to-date project plans, accurate status reporting, proactive risk management, clear RACI structures
- Track and report on key project metrics: milestone completion, budget burn, scope change requests, customer satisfaction (CSAT)
- Implement delivery governance on your projects: phase gate reviews, quality checkpoints, go-live readiness assessments
- Drive continuous improvement: identify what's working and what's not, iterate on delivery methodology, share best practices with team
Who You Are
Experience & Track Record
- 10–15 years in enterprise software delivery, professional services, technical consulting, or implementation management roles
- Proven track record leading complex, multi-stakeholder enterprise implementations in B2B SaaS (ideally PSA, CRM, ERP, workflow platforms, or enterprise SaaS)
- Deep hands-on delivery experience across the full implementation lifecycle: discovery, design, build, UAT, data migration, go-live, hypercare

- Familiarity with data modeling, ETL processes, data migration strategies, and enterprise data flows
- Comfortable using modern AI tools (Claude, Cursor, MCPs) to accelerate problem-solving, build prototypes, and enhance delivery productivity
- Bonus: Experience with Professional Services Automation (PSA) platforms and understanding of PS operations (resource management, time tracking, revenue recognition, project margin analysis)
Executive Presence & Customer Engagement
- Exceptional executive presence: comfortable presenting to and building relationships with C-level stakeholders (CTO, COO, CFO, VP-level)
- Ability to shift seamlessly between strategic conversations (business outcomes, ROI, change management) and technical conversations (integration architecture, data flows, API design)
- Command respect in the room without dominating it: you listen deeply, ask insightful questions, and guide decisions collaboratively
- Diplomatic yet direct: you push back assertively on unrealistic timelines, scope creep, and poor decisions while maintaining trust and strong relationships
- Confident managing difficult conversations: scope disputes, project delays, underperforming vendors, stakeholder misalignment, at-risk go-lives
Project Management & Operational Excellence
- Expert-level project management skills: scope definition, work breakdown structures, risk management, dependency tracking, change control
- Data-driven decision maker: you use metrics to diagnose problems, forecast outcomes, and drive accountability
- Strong business acumen: you understand project economics, gross margin dynamics, resource utilization, and how delivery impacts company growth
- Process-oriented but pragmatic: you build structure where needed but don't let process become bureaucracy
- Proactive risk manager: you see around corners, identify risks early, and develop mitigation plans before problems escalate
Leadership & Influence (Without Direct Authority)
- Lead by influence, not authority: you earn respect through expertise, empathy, and action—not org charts or titles
- Strong coach and mentor: you develop talent through real-world problem-solving, not just abstract feedback
- Comfortable with difficult conversations: performance issues with partners, scope negotiations with customers, escalations to executives
- High emotional intelligence: you read the room, adapt communication style, and build trust across diverse stakeholders (engineers, executives, operations teams)
- Collaborative mindset: you build partnerships across Sales, Product, Engineering, Customer Success, and global delivery teams
Hands-On & High-Energy
- Willing to get into the weeds when needed: review a broken integration, rebuild a project plan, facilitate a heated stakeholder meeting, prototype a solution
- High energy and bias toward action: you move fast, make decisions with incomplete information, and iterate based on feedback
- Comfortable with ambiguity and evolving priorities in a fast-paced startup environment
- Not precious about scope or job description: you do what needs to be done to ensure customer and team success
- Resilient under pressure: you thrive in high-stakes situations and stay calm when projects are at risk

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding Green Card Sponsorship as a Customer Engagement Manager
Align your credentials to the PERM job description
Your degree field and years of experience must match the minimum requirements the employer lists on the PERM application. A mismatch between your transcript and the job description is one of the most common reasons USCIS issues an RFE at the I-140 stage.
Research prevailing wages before salary negotiations
Use the OFLC Wage Search to look up the prevailing wage for Customer Engagement Manager roles in your target city. Employers cannot offer you less than that DOL-certified wage, so knowing the floor strengthens your negotiation position before you accept an offer.
Target employers with dedicated HR immigration teams
Mid-to-large companies in SaaS, financial services, and healthcare frequently sponsor EB-2 and EB-3 petitions for customer-facing management roles. Employers with in-house immigration counsel can move from PERM filing to I-140 approval faster than those relying on outside firms for the first time.
Search green card sponsorship jobs on Migrate Mate
Filter by job title and green card sponsorship history to find Customer Engagement Manager openings where employers have an active PERM filing track record. Migrate Mate surfaces DOL disclosure data so you can verify sponsorship intent before applying.
Confirm EB-2 eligibility if your degree is in a related field
EB-2 covers advanced-degree professionals, so a master's in business, communications, or a related discipline can qualify you without NIW self-petition. Ask prospective employers whether they're prepared to file an EB-2 petition, since some default to EB-3 for customer engagement roles without being asked.
Get the offer letter to specify green card sponsorship terms
Once an employer agrees to sponsor your green card, confirm in writing that they'll cover PERM filing and I-140 fees and begin the process within a defined timeframe after you start. Verbal commitments to sponsor frequently stall after onboarding without a written agreement.
Green Card Customer Engagement Manager: Frequently Asked Questions
Do Customer Engagement Manager roles qualify for EB-2 or EB-3 sponsorship?
Most Customer Engagement Manager positions qualify for EB-3 sponsorship as professional roles requiring a bachelor's degree. If you hold a master's degree or higher in a relevant field such as business or communications, your employer can file under EB-2 instead. The classification depends on the minimum requirements the employer documents in the PERM labor certification, not just your personal credentials.
How does green card sponsorship differ from H-1B for this role?
An employment-based green card through PERM leads to permanent residency, while an H-1B visa is a temporary, employer-tied status requiring renewal every three years. EB-3 has no annual lottery, so your employer's petition isn't subject to the H-1B cap. The tradeoff is timeline: PERM labor certification alone typically takes six to eighteen months before USCIS even begins adjudicating the I-140 petition.
What does the PERM process look like for a Customer Engagement Manager role?
Your employer starts by obtaining a prevailing wage determination from the DOL, then runs a mandatory recruitment campaign to demonstrate no qualified U.S. worker is available for the role. If recruitment is completed without a disqualifying applicant, the employer files an ETA Form 9089 with OFLC. USCIS then reviews the I-140 immigrant petition once PERM is certified, which can take an additional six to twelve months without premium processing.
Where can I find Customer Engagement Manager jobs that offer green card sponsorship?
Migrate Mate lets you search specifically for Customer Engagement Manager roles where employers have a documented history of sponsoring employment-based green cards. Because the platform pulls from DOL PERM disclosure data, you can assess an employer's actual filing history rather than relying on vague job-listing language like 'sponsorship available for the right candidate.'
Can my employer start the PERM process before I have an approved H-1B or other work visa?
Yes. PERM labor certification is an employer-side DOL process that can begin while you're on any work-authorized status, including H-1B, L-1 visa, or even F-1 OPT. The PERM application itself doesn't require you to hold a particular visa. You do need valid work authorization by the time USCIS approves the I-140 and you proceed to adjustment of status or consular processing.
